A card shop owner fined £35,000 for opening during lockdown has won his appeal against the huge penalty.
Alasdair Walker-Cox, who runs Grace Cards & Books in Droitwich, was convicted of breaching lockdown rules at Kidderminster Magistrates Court last August.
He remained open during lockdown in February 2021 because he claimed the store was exempt from rules covering non-essential shops due to selling food and some publications, Birmingham Live reports.
